County Administrator Candice McGarry announced in late August the appointment of Grace Mawyer as Director of Finance and Human Resources for Nelson County.

Mawyer officially began her new role on August 26, 2024.

She brings with her 10 years of experience in governmental finance and accounting, with the majority of that time spent in local government finance.

McGarry expressed excitement about welcoming back a competent and strong leader who is well-versed in the county’s budget, finance and human resources processes within the department. McGarry noted that Mawyer stood out from a list of qualified applicants and emphasized the organization’s fortune in having her extensive institutional knowledge of Nelson County Finance and Human Resources carry forward into a greater role within the organization.

Mawyer is also a candidate of the Uniform CPA exam.

“The County takes pride in acquiring top talent, particularly individuals who will further enhance its reputation as a well-managed and fiscally responsible locality,” McGarry said.

Mawyer said that she is honored to be chosen.

“Being selected as the next leader of this exceptional team of professionals is a truly meaningful moment. I am excited to carry on the exemplary financial management of County resources, and I am extremely thankful for the chance to keep serving the citizens of Nelson County in my new position,” she said.
